Windows 10: ALL MICROSOFT APPS GREYED OUT

ALL OF MY MICROSOFT APPS GREYED OUT WITH A EXCALAMATION SIGN..

I UPDATED MY WINDOWS BUT NOTHING CHANGED

WHAT SHOULD I DO ?

PLEASE HELP MICROSOFT...

:)

 

Standard apps + Store app are all greyed out


I had the same problem, but found a solution:
1. Open Command Prompt as administrator
2. Type "sfc /scannow"
3. Once it is complete type " dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth"
4. Restart your PC
5. Open Powershell as admin
6. Type "Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}" and press enter - when finished all tiles were no longer greyed out and all apps could now run

Although steps 5 and 6 are the same as in the first post, doing steps 1-4 first fixed problems allowing step six to properly work

Hope this helps

 

Standard apps + Store app are all greyed out

I had the same problem as described in this forum and came across this whilst trawling the net...I followed redgenerals steps and all worked for me without having to reinstall windows 10 over the top of the original installation...overall i would say the process took about an hour to complete...Also highly advise if anyone else attempts this to copy and paste redgenerals commands to cause any confusion.

Much appreciated for the post!
